Cagliari Calcio vs Bologna FC 1909

Bologna left Sardinia with a 2-0 win over Cagliari at the Unipol Domus, a cagey afternoon that only opened up after the break. The first half had little to offer. Mendy volleyed wide for the hosts and Caprile saved from Odgaard, and the game stayed slow and cautious. Bologna came out sharper after the interval and won a string of corners. The fifth of them broke the deadlock in the 57th minute, when Nicolò Casale headed in a delivery from Juan Miranda. The second came 23 minutes later. Juan Rodríguez was ruled to have handled a shot from Federico Bernardeschi inside the box, and Bernardeschi converted the penalty in the 80th minute. Cagliari collected three yellow cards, for Zé Pedro, Gagliardini and Deiola, and Libra's low shot in stoppage time was blocked by Caprile. It is a second straight defeat for Cagliari, who lost 4-0 at Monza last time out. Bologna started the day on 8 points and now have 11.
